Rear Window Louvre

[tony g]

About 3 months ago I rang Autoplas and spoke to a woman there and asked the same question. She told me the elderly (original) owner was about to retire and hand over to someone else. She said email her with the rquests (in this case it was for opel mantas) to log the interest, which I did. If enough people enquire they may start to make them again-hopefully for £50 not 200!

I gave auto-plas an email themselves, here is the response unfortunately -

"Dear Jack

Thank you for your enquiry but we no longer manufacture rear louvres and we have no stock left unfortunately."

Worth a go I suppose!

Slightly off topic, but the PO of my vermillion Sprint had fitted a slim black venetian blind inside the rear screen. It looked pretty good, and would have been a possible alternative to external louvres, but I removed it years ago and don't know the maufacturer.

'Gradulux' https://www.google.com/search?client=fi ... q=gradulux manufacture a louvre blind for a whole range of cars, not for the Dolomite specifically as I have enquired. They can make one if dimensions are supplied https://www.gradulux.org/mon_store_sur_mesure.html

However they are not 'cheap' so I went for a roller blind on eBay instead from Bulgaria... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265008854381 not so easy to fit with the rear screen in as I needed to use a right angle attachment for my drill and did my neck no good, but it's in, covers most of the rear seat and does the job to stop the sun eating the fabric on my SE's rear seat.
